News Staff - July 11, 2017

RAPID CITY, SD—John Kearns, who possesses a wealth of sales, marketing and customer service experience, has recently joined the home loans team at First Interstate Bank as a mortgage lender.

Raised in the Black Hills, Kearns began his career in auto sales, working for a local dealership then transitioning to online sales with Autotrader.com and Kelly Blue Book as a dealer consultant. It was during this time when Kearns refined his ability to anticipate customer needs with acute attention to detail.

Kearns got his start in the mortgage business working with Veterans United Home Loans, where he specialized in VA loans. Most recently, he decided to put those skills to work at First Interstate Bank as a mortgage lender.

“I am beyond excited to bring my local touch and experience as a mortgage loan officer to First Interstate Bank, a company I’ve known and trusted for years,” Kearns said.

When he’s not connecting clients to their dream homes, Kearns enjoys spending time with his wife, Jessica, 5-year-old daughter, Ellory and two Siberian Huskies, Juno and Teton. The family loves outdoor activities and all the amenities offered by the Black Hills landscape.
